Mugabe’s furry: Controversial Nigerian Christian Minister who Prophesies President Mugabe's Death has reportedly been invited by Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to speak at the African country's National Day of Prayer event on May 25.

Zimbabwe's prime minister and
opposition presidential candidate has reportedly invited a controversial
Christian minister to speak at the African country's National Day of Prayer
event on May 25. The invitation is being fiercely opposed by President Robert
Mugabe's party after the minister is believed to have prophesied the
88-year-old leader's death.

The faith healer in question is Temitope Balogun Joshua, who is accused by
senior officials of being a "Satanist" and "false prophet"
for teaching what the ZANU-PF calls "judgmental, partisan, and
unorthodox" messages. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai invited Joshua to
the May 25 event. The controversial minister claims to have healed people
suffering illnesses through prayer and is believed to have made accurate
prophecies concerning figures in the country. Most recently, Joshua has been
accused of making a prophecy believed to predict Mugabe's death.

"TB Joshua uses evil powers which are satanic and satanic powers can
also work. TB Joshua's visit does not scare me because he is not God. What are
people scared of? What is he coming for? Does he have power to take life?"
said Anglican Bishop Nolbert Kunonga.

Joshua, who leads the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria, where
an estimated 15,000 people attend his Sunday services, reportedly may have a
reliable track record. The Atlantic shared that the evangelist predicted last
month that "an African leader" would die, just days before the
president of Malawi,
Bingu wa Mutharika, died on April 5 of a heart attack.

What reportedly might be troubling President Mugabe is that Joshua has
recently predicted that another African leader will fall "critically ill'
and be hospitalized soon. Zimbabwe's
leader, who is 88 years old, has had many health scares in the past and has had
to undergo treatment for heart problems and prostate cancer.
Mugabe, a Roman Catholic, said
in February on his birthday, "I have died many times. That's where I
have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once."

The National Day of Prayer event that Tsvangirai is helping organize may
also build support for the prime minister, as Joshua is considered a popular
preacher in Africa and enjoys a good deal of support from some sections of
Zimbabwe's predominantly Christian population.

According to a 2007 U.S.
state government report on Zimbabwe, between 70 and 80 percent
of the population belong to mainstream Christian denominations, such as Roman
Catholic, Anglican, and Methodist. Evangelical denominations, primarily
Pentecostal churches and apostolic groups, have been reported to be on the rise.

Joshua also has affiliated congregations in Ghana,
the U.K., South Africa, and Greece.
